Wood runs with the fashion set in London, though she's the cream of the art crop, and she made her first feature length film, Nowhere Boy, in 2009 (it was just released at the end of last year) and she stars in Vuitton's first run of what they're calling "Double Exposure."

The campaign features short films that show the collodion process (a Victoria era method of photography using glass and wet plates that was eventually replaced with gelatin coated plates) used to produce the print part of the project. Given the method of photography, by photographer Tim Craig, Wood had to sit perfectly still for up to 20 seconds at a time while the lens was open. Click through to watch a behind the scenes clip!
